Russia’s Human Right’s Commissioner Yana Lantratova on the Oleshky ceasefire and the U.S. First Lady Melania Trump’s role tells me: “She genuinely played a mediating role, and in a way this served as a guarantee of our joint agreement. We were in constant, regular contact with the First Lady’s team while preparing this mission, and later, while we were in the Republic of Belarus finalizing the agreements.” “Furthermore, we outlined in great detail how the convoy would move—specifically, that special vehicles – military vehicles – would lead the convoy to ensure complete safety with regard to landmines, to prevent any explosions and ensure everything was safe.” CNN

“He is strongly damaged I believe the CDU cannot continue with Friedrich Merz, with a weak chancellor." - AfD chair Alice Weidel tells me shortly after preliminary results show devastating losses for Friedrich Merz’s CDU both in Berlin and Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. Weidel calls the AfD a new “people’s party” and says the CDU’s poor showing is due to the “firewall policy” where the CDU excludes cooperating with the AfD.

Caught up with Russian nationalist philosopher Alexander Dugin, seen by some as Putin’s ideological architect and who just wrote a book called “the Trump Revolution” - I asked him about Western fears that Donald J. Trump might be closer to Putin than to the U.S.’s allies. CNN Dugin: : “Yes, it's so. I agree that it’s obvious, that is obvious. He is much more conservative. He is in favour of traditional values. He is in favour of the patriotism of the nation, and I define that as the great power's world order. Putin and Trump coincide in accepting this model instead of liberal globalism.”

From Tehran: some lines now at gas stations. Drivers told us they waited around 20-30 minutes to get to the pump. They seemed fairly relaxed about the fuel situation but feared it could get worse in the coming days after the massive airstrikes on fuel storage facilities around the capital. CNN CNN International
